Excellent segment. From 2010-2011, I worked very closely with the wider Asian American community in Montgomery County, MD as well as Washington, D.C. The debate about whether D.C.'s Chinatown was a veritable version of an Asian district was a heated one. Most of the Chinese-owned businesses have been ousted by big franchises that only include Chinese translations of their brand names (i.e. Urban Outfitters on 7th St. NW) as pure formality.

The Wah-Luck house (a residential building in Chinatown) is a paragon example of how Chinese tenants in D.C., despite linguistic barriers and limited access to legal resources, were able to organize against rent increases and gentrification. The tenants were able to request a hearing with the municipal government and speak on behalf of themselves.

I look forward to hearing more from this program. Being Asian American, I'm eager to hear different voices from around the U.S. that define the very nuanced and often overlooked Asian American experience.

It is so refreshing to hear a thoughtful program that explores everyday notions like the idea of home in a universal, personal way. I absolutely love the piece of the young Korean American reporter moving to Minneapolis from Southern California and her search for home.

I would like to hear a more diverse group of voices. Asian America encompasses over sixty different cultures and languages - more diverse in socio-economic background, length of spent in America, etc. I do realize how difficult it is to do that, so keep up the good work!
